Abstract: Techniques for analyzing and synthesizing complex knowledge representations (KRs) may utilize an atomic knowledge representation model including both an elemental data structure and knowledge processing rules stored as machine-readable data and/or programming instructions. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to analyze an input complex KR to deconstruct its complex concepts and/or concept relationships to elemental concepts and/or concept relationships to be included in the elemental data structure. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to synthesize an output complex KR from the stored elemental data structure in accordance with context information. Methods of populating an elemental data structure and methods of synthesizing complex KRs from the elemental data structure may rely on linguistic inference rules and/or elemental inference rules.

Abstract: A code instrumentation method and a code instrumentation apparatus for instrumenting object codes of programs to enable memory access tracing. The code instrumentation method includes: identifying an object code block to be executed circularly in object codes; identifying at least one memory access instruction in the object code block where a memory address to be accessed during the circular execution of the object code block keeps unchanged; and inserting a routine for tracing the memory access to be executed by the at least one memory access instruction outside the object code block.

Abstract: A device for vaginal insertion that corrects the anatomical defect which is the cause of majority of prolapses is disclosed. Said device comprises a base member (or body), two lateral members (or opposite side arms) attached to two opposing sides of said base member, and a protruding member (or handle) attached to the mid-section of said base member. Two lateral arms re-approximate the detached endopelvic fascia to the pelvic side walls at the site of the Arcus Tendineus Levator Ani. In an embodiment, the base member is elongated or rectangularly shaped and/or is concaved toward the vaginal apex. In another embodiment, the base member reduces the prolapsed uterus. The protruding member extends outwardly from the base member to support the bladder neck, thereby improving urinary incontinence. The device is formed of a biocompatible, flexible material, e.g., medical grade silicone, so that it can be folded, for example at a mid-section for insertion.

This provides a new way to sense acceleration, strain, and other parameters which can be translated into a deflection.
